By looking through the lens of an early eighteenth century French garden design treatise, we can trace their rise to popularity during the second half of the seventeenth and early eighteenth century to their gradual decline as a garden feature during the second half of the eighteenth century.

The ability to mould the Haddonstone material into almost any shape ~ faithfully reproducing new designs or producing replicas that are virtually indistinguishable from an antique original ~ has won the company numerous contracts ranging from leading international hotels and retail developments to listed National Trust properties and prestige residential projects.

    UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FaCILITIES MANAGEMENT 2 PLANNING GUIDELINES 2.1 - criteria for landscape design 2.2 - criteria for siting new facilities 2.3 - criteria for architectural character 2.4 - criteria for historic preservation 2.5 - criteria for campus circulation 2.6 - criteria for sustainability see also: Campus Furnishings Standards Campus Landscape Standards 01.07.2008 UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS FaCILITIES MANAGEMENT 2.1 CRITERIA FOR LANDSCAPE DESIGN The landscape of the UA campus is predominantly one of trees and lawn. In this, it follows a long collegiate tradition stretching back to Oxford and Cambridge of simple, well-deliniated outdoor spaces shaded by spreading canopy trees. The following guidelines seek to reinforce and extend this collegiate tradition by discouraging excessive complexity of landscape forms and materials, promoting a unified campus landscape rather than a collection of individual landscape “projects,” and creating consistency of hardscape materials and details, along with outdoor furnishings. A. PLANTING “A campus is a place for trees and grass, nothing more . .” Beatrix Farrand In general, the campus landscape should be bold and simple: large canopy trees, lawn, and low ground covers. When appropriate, large, woody shrubs and/or ornamental trees should be used to emphasize the architectural characteristics of the building—entrances, façade articulations, corners, etc. Key guidelines: Landscape typology - in order to clarify design intent—for both spatial effect and function—plantings should be conceived of in typological terms: allée, bosquet, grove, lawn, garden, park, fountain, pool, embankment, terrace, court, meadow, etc. Vague and undescriptive terminology should be avoided: i.e. “water feature” vs fountain or “green space” vs lawn.

GARDEN DESIGN IN THEORY AND PRACTICE By MADELINE AGAR Author of ' A Primer of School Gardening.' PHILADELPHIA : J. B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY LONDON: SIDGWICK & JACKSON LTD. MCMXII 5 Preface TN writing this book I have purposely omitted everything of a purely horticultural nature, such as instructions on cultivation and lists of suitable subjects for different soils and situations. There are already numberless good works dealing with that side of garden design. Indeed, in the stress laid upon contents, form has been neglected, and since the gardener's resources have been so enormously developed by the introduction of new plants, and the improvement of old, the art of design in the garden has deteriorated. Within the Jfcst few years it has revived, thanks to a band of architects who realized the unity of house and garden, and were not content to see a carefully planned house surrounded by a haphazard arrange- ment of mixed vegetation. Without going into the old controversy as to whether or not the architect should also do the garden, I would suggest that there are many men whose knowledge of horticulture is their strength, and who are perfectly capable of laying out grounds artistically, with due regard to the house and the X tRElFACE convenience of management, and in addition will employ their experience with plants to the great benefit of the design.

  • Louis XIV's Maniere De Montrer Les Jardins De Versailles an Unknown View by William Roberts in the Month of July 1689 the Exiled
    Louis XIV's Maniere de montrer les jardins de Versailles An Unknown View by William Roberts In the month of July 1689 the exiled queen of England—Marie-Beatrix d'Este, wife of James II—came to see Versailles. According to Dangeau, Louis XIV himself ordered a short itinerary to be drawn up for her visit to the gardens. This was to be the first of six similar MS. texts on the subject, including one written in the King's own hand, hence presumably composed by him. It dates from 1702-04 but is unfortunately incomplete. The third and most interesting version consisting of 26 paragraphs which is considered to be from 1691-1695, was copied by a royal Secretary, and has since been published.1 From the same period, we have recently discovered the Harvard Library Map Collection, a large engraving entitles "Veue...de Versailles," issued by A. Schoonbeek in Amsterdam in 1693, and apparently not reproduced since then.2 We shall relate the King's walking directions to this panoramic engraving, by referring [in square brackets] to its key letters. In a further coincidence, at Versailles, there have been preserved two sets of garden paintings done by Jean Cotelle, the King's miniaturist, and dated c. 1693. We shall describe these and other contemporary illustrations of the garden groves {bosquets), in an attempt to reconstruct verbally the experience of late 17th c. visitors who might have followed the prescribed itinerary. The painter Etienne Allegrain has recorded an "tour guide" impression of the Sun King in his mid- fifties, who liked to have important visitors appreciate and admire the gardens (in Hoog 48-49; Walton 24).3 He portrays a group assembled around the King on the terrace opposite the then recently completed North wing [C on the engraving].

  • French Classical Theatre and Formal Garden Design
    Peter V. Conroy, Jr. · '·· French Classical Theatre and Formal Garden Design In her biography of Andre Le Notre, art historian Helen Fox sees the French garden architect as a perfect reflection of his time. His gardens, in her words, "express the political and philosophical thoughts of seventeenth-century France." They are "a perfect symbol of his era," and are "like a mathematical problem of Descartes solved in the terms of landscape." Going one step further, she makes an in­ teresting parallel between two of the principal art forms of late seven­ teenth and eighteenth-century France, the classical theatre and the formal garden: There were unities in garden design similar to the unities of classical Greek and contemporary French drama: unity of time as brought about by the harmony between house and garden; of place, in the way each part contributed to the whole; and of action, by the construction of interest in the garden through the exclusion of all views of meadows and valleys and the constantly changing traffic along the roads. I During the century and a half that preceded the French Revolution, a period that coincides with the classical spirit in art and literature, both the classical drama and the formal gardens were created and reached their highest form of expression. Here I would like to develop in detail an analysis of the Jardin jram;ais based on the theory of classical theatre. Both these art forms, both these genres, sprang from the same cultural and historical roots and thrived in the same political and social milieux; both are manifestations of a very special French genius, and both express a similar artistic vision and reveal a similar technical expertise.
